However, truly well-known and globally circulating works are all canonical works of European or Western literature, while non-European and even \"minor\" European literatures remain largely unknown beyond their culture of origin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorld Literature as Discovery: Expanding the World Literary Canon\u003c\/em\u003e argues that world literature for our time must go beyond Eurocentrism and expand the canon to include great works from non-European and \"minor\" European literatures. As much of the world's literature remains untranslated and unknown, the expansion will be an exciting process of discovery. By discussing fundamental questions around canon, circulation, aesthetic values, translation, cosmopolitanism, and the literary universal, Zhang Longxi proposes a new and liberating concept of world literature that will shape world literature worthy of its name. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book speaks for a more inclusive idea of world literature and shows students and scholars alike that all the literary traditions, particularly non-European traditions, will be able to make important contributions and expand the canon of world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZhang Longxi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Xiaoxiang Chair Professor of Comparative Literature at Hunan Normal University in Changsha, China, and Chair Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature and Translation at the City University of Hong Kong.
